NAME
       scsi_mandat - check SCSI device support for mandatory commands

SYNOPSIS
       scsi_mandat [--help] [--log] [--quiet] [--verbose] DEVICE

DESCRIPTION
       This  bash shell script calls several SCSI commands on the given DEVICE. These SCSI commands are considered mandatory (al‐
       though that varies a little depending on which standard/draft the DEVICE complies with). The results of each  test  and  a
       pass/fail count are output.

OPTIONS
       Arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.

       -h, --help
              print out the usage message then exit.

       -L, --log
              the  output  to stderr (from each SCSI command executed) is appended to a file called 'scsi_mandat.err' in the cur‐
              rent working directory.

       -q, --quiet
              the amount of output is reduced and typically only the pass/fail count is output.

       -v, --verbose
              increase level or verbosity.

EXIT STATUS
       The exit status of this script is the number of "bad" errors found.  So an exit status of 0 means all mandatory SCSI  com‐
       mands worked as expected.
